NEW DOCUMENTARY: We Are What We Eat [topsoil erosion food organic monsanto diet health]

http://wearewhatweeatthemovie.com/

Healthy nutritious food should not be an elitist privilege; it should be an inalienable right.

Agriculture touches everything.

Every thing we ingest has a consequence, a consequence to our physical being, a reverse consequence to the soil that food was grown in and everything in between and beyond. Each decision we make in the process of buying and eating food enforces a specific paradigm.

This film is an odyssey, my quest for clarity in what Im finding to be a very hazy time in our adaptation as a species on this planet.

Imagine a day when any person can walk into any restaurant, grocery or convenience store, make a random selection and be part of a chain of events based on sustainability, health and a lack of harm.

We are currently very far from that day but I think we would benefit greatly from turning the ship in that general direction.

A good start would be striving for clarity and accountability with regards to the consequence of our choice. While too few of us farm we all eat and shape the paradigm with every purchase and bite.

Unfortunately we seem to be lacking a benevolent shepherd. We all need to be our own food advocate and more importantly advocates for our children's nutritional wellbeing. While many of us have limited access to varied food choices we are all victim to skewed and confusing information regarding food and nutrition in the current market-driven paradigm.

This is my attempt to contribute to the clarification of that confusion for myself, my family and hopefully you as well.

Hello! Have you tried intellectus 424 diet (do a google search)? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my cooworker lost tons of weight with it.

[quingermanfrog]

yeah either way we'll deplete the topsoil, the thing is we need to be self-sufficientnto completely organic as in half of a crop we rot to insert our nutrience into the soil. But farmers arealready inserting nutrience back into the soil for where I live we have farmers who take all kinds of and put the oneswe need back in. My science teacher is a frmer he uses limestone to restore his plant's nutrience.

spread organic heirloom food seed far and wide, its called "johnny appleseed economics" or "gorrila gardens", spread more organic food than GMO and you will water down the effects and if everyone becomes self suffcient at their homes it will stop GMO right in its tracks, if there is enough people it will save our food system, thats how you win! wake up everyone, do your part if u are angry, get seed and make a organic revolution your way.SPREAD THE ORGANIC SEED EVERYWHERE tell others!

In your info you say nutritious food should not be an elitist privalege. That got me thinking that the elitists that run the world through puppet governments (Washington, for example) might have a hand in this? Maybe it's not just about a quick buck.

People don't think as well without proper nutrition.

Just a thought.

Fascinating topic. I always felt that a good biologist is worth their weight in vegetables...sm Just by examining a cross section of human tissues, they can give accurate accounts of the past present and future of human civilizations.

Even with organic agriculture you are still able to deplete your soil. Exporting food from a given area will remove soil nutrients that need to be replaced, whether through organic or non-organic practices. Nutrient loading in the water courses surrounding major cities from waste water treatment plants provides likely the best example of what happens when you move food outside of the area it was produced.

great vid! thanks

I didnt see one tie dyed, birkenstock wearing "hippy". These people speaking in this clip seem very intelligent and concerned about our future. You should gain some knowledge about this, instead of wasting time making ridiculous remarks.

[BaileysBeads]

This has nothing to do with being a tree-hugging hippy. If you can't sustain your own civililzation everything will simply collapse.

It's not a matter of flower-power, this is a matter of survival.

that may be true but what they are saying is truth and hard evidental facts watch"The future of food" documentary or supersize me we need to bring back the old ways of agriculture and teach the people how to eat and be healthy before its too late
